1. Be honest about what you can reveal.
1.對于你能透露的東西要坦誠。
Diplomats are known as "people who lie for their countries, " and corporations are often seen as equally deceitful. But in both cases, telling the truth is essential for success. Truth builds a solid reputation. It's the key to establishing long-term relationships that you can rely on in a crunch.
外交家們是那些“為了自己的國家而說謊的人”,公司也常常被認為同樣具有欺騙性。但兩者之間相同的是,說真話對于成功來說都是不可或缺的。真話能建立起穩(wěn)定的聲譽,這對于建立你能在危急時刻倚靠的長期穩(wěn)定的關(guān)系是非常重要的。
When secrecy is essential, with an upcoming product launch or a private personnel issue, don't compromise honesty. You can keep secrets and still tell the truth. Just be honest about what you can and cannot say.
當你必須保密時,比如面對一個即將發(fā)行的產(chǎn)品或是私密的個人文件,不要違背誠實。你可以繼續(xù)保守秘密,同時說些真話,你只要坦誠地說明什么是你可以說的,什么你不可以說。
n. 聲譽,好名聲
